[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 82/97] kbuild: fix false positive warning/error about missing libelf

[Sasha Levin]

From: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ef7cfd00b2caf6edeb7f169682b64be2d0a798cf ]

For the same reason as commit 25896d073d8a ("x86/build: Fix compiler
support check for CONFIG_RETPOLINE"), you cannot put this $(error ...)
into the parse stage of the top Makefile.

Perhaps I'd propose a more sophisticated solution later, but this is
the best I can do for now.
